Jurgen Klopp to Leave Liverpool? Klopp Most Likely Next Manager to Leave
Jurgen Klopp the Favorite to Be Next Manager to Leave Club
Last season, Liverpool ran away with the English Premier League crown. Not only did they win the EPL, they scored the second most points in Premier League history en route to one of the most dominant seasons ever.
Now, just one season later, things aren't going as smoothly for the Reds. Through 24 matches, Liverpool has 40 points and is in fourth place in the league, sitting just a single point clear of fifth place Chelsea.
This weekend they went ahead 1-0 over 3rd place Leicester City before the Foxes came storming back, scoring three straight to extend their lead over Liverpool in the standings.
It seems unfathomable to imagine that the turmoil would lead to the exit of Jurgen Klopp, the manager that led this squad to its first league title since the 1989-1990 season. But, if the betting odds are any indication, we may see Klopp leaving the club sometime soon. Klopp is currently the favorite to be the next EPL manager to leave his club at +100.
